Internet Boycott Rages On !

Dateline, the Bat-Cave, inner sanctum of the Elders of WDJ. --

In an unprecedented move, the World of Doctor Justice is extending its Web blackout for a second straight day, in protest of … what was it now … oh yes, -- user-hostile plastic packaging that can only be separating with a blasting torch, in the process creating sharp edges that can slice your fingers off. In thus outdoing even Wikipedia, Dr Justice has clearly demonstrated his commitment to … stuff.

Furthermore, the site has upped the ante. In addition to resolutely refusing to publish anything ludic, comedic, risible, rib-tickling, side-splitting, kneeslap-inducing or ROFL-level material, the site is now threatening to publish jokes minus the punchline. There is therefore now unbearable pressure on Congress to do … stuff.

=> A priest, a rabbi, and a capybara walk into a bar.

The bartender says, “I’m sorry, we don’t --“

So, what did the bartender say, hm, huh? Wouldn’t you just like to know!
